Engine bay with transparent hood

[marcusv8thunder]

dunno if this is right section but ive seen on here a few shots where u can see the engine through the hood as the hoods been photoshopped to be see through if i get me?

anyone know how u do that on photoshop?

Its all workin with the layers of the picture its not just a tool. it takes some work. Haven't used photoshop in awhile but i used to be able to do it. Ask visualpoet he did it with his.

1. Setup camera on a tripod
2. Take picture of car with hood down
3. Without moving anything, open the hood and take a second picture
4. In Photoshop (or any editing program) open the two images
5. Copy the "hood open" picture and paste it on top of the "hood down" image
6. Set the transparency for the "hood open" picture to 50% or whatever you think looks good
7. Erase everything from the "hood open" picture except the engine bay (and even part of it if you want to keeep some of the hood in the shot)
8. Voila!

You can do the same thing with a door or trunk or anything that opens and closes.

GIMP is a free alternative and there are TONS of tutorials for it. It functions basically the same as PS.
